Here is the rulingby CAS

Lausanne, 15 July 2005 – The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed today the appeal filed by the Greek football club FC Aris Thessaloniki in relation to a dispute involving another Greek football club New Panionios NFC and the FIFA.

The facts related to this matter extend back to November 2004 when the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber upheld a monetary claim filed by two Players against Panionios. Considering that Panionios did not pay the requested amounts to the Players, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee decided on 14 February 2005 to grant Panionios a final period of grace of thirty days for the payment of the outstanding amounts and also ruled that if such payments were not made within this time limit, 12 points (6 for each case) would be deducted from the points obtained by Panionios in the A Division of the Greek Football League. Panionios paid the amounts due to the Players but only after the expiration of the time limit fixed by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee. However, no points were deducted from Panionios’ first team. Thereafter, the FC Aris, which was ranked 14th in the Greek Championship with 25 points and was relegated in second division while Panionios finished 11th with 35 points, filed a complaint with FIFA. On 6 June 2005, the FIFA administration replied that the execution of a decision taken by a FIFA body fell under the competence of the relevant member association, namely the Hellenic Football Federation.

FC Aris filed an appeal with CAS on 8 June 2005 requesting in particular an order against FIFA to execute the decisions of its Disciplinary Committee by instructing the Hellenic Football Federation and the Hellenic Football League to deduct 12 points from the club Panionios.

The CAS Panel in charge of this matter has considered that the letter issued by FIFA on 6 June 2005 did not constitute a decision against which an appeal could be filed. The purpose of that letter was only to inform FC Aris of the applicable FIFA rules and of the fact that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee was competent to address disciplinary issues and to pronounce sanctions. The CAS Panel noted that the FIFA administration had immediately transmitted the case to the FIFA Disciplinary Committee and thus did not commit a denial of justice. Considering that FC Aris has not exhausted all legal remedies internal to FIFA before the appeal to CAS, the Panel concluded that it had no jurisdiction to hear this case in the absence of a final decision of FIFA.

I think you are better of at B ethiniki. You should regain your composure before you go to A ethinki because don't expect this to be an easier year for Ari in A ethiniki. Sorry to say but I think that you will probably do worse than last year in A ethiniki. Your only gain will be economical if you stay at A ethinki.

FIFA has made their decision, which basically says that EPO was wrong in their decisions. FIFA has only issued a warning towards EPO concerning the matter, telling EPO to watch out inthe future.

As things stand, Aris will stay in B' Division, although it is assumed that they will still pursue the matter before the CAS

History of the case and theFIFA rullling from Metrosport.gr:
